Leaders are doers but often we need to ask ourselves what it is we need to stop doing to grow, get from here to there or lead others effectively.

The longer you lead and the more you find success in leading the more it really becomes less about what to do and more about what not to do.

Here’s some questions to ask that should generate a list of what to stop doing:

What needs to be done but by someone other than you?
What are you doing that is no longer yielding results?
What are you doing that is draining your energy and hurting productivity?
What is that thing that you like to do but needs to be given away or cut altogether?

Make a list and learn to stop doing the things that need to be delegated, cut, outsourced or given away?
